Perth - Split PicsNEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH NEWS FLASH ENSURE YOU LOOK AT "WA SPLIT SCREEN BIBLE"
4 POSTS DOWN IN THE SPLITTY SECTION MANY MORE PICTURES - AROUND 100 ! I had the idea to have a Post of pictures of splitscreens that I have photgraphed here in Perth. Then I thought it would be good for everyone to contribute so we can build a database just to see how many there are here Below is my collection and others that people have emailed me (some are not so clear/good) so if you have a better picutre or one that you prefer (or if you want your bus removed PM me or email jamiebarrett@optusnet.com.au) I know of 9 more that I will seek out pictures of and add over time.. Enjoy and please add........................

||||
| splitfamily4tune8* |
i reckon that 13 window deluxe in og condition is very interesting....is it in adelaide now? | ||||
| BJ |
Are you talking about the one with SPLITTIE number plate? If so it is here in WA ,owned by Patrick. Featured in VWAustralia a few issues back. | ||||
| splitfamily4tune8* |

the black/orange panel i sold a bit over 18 months ago.
sold it to a lady (lizzy).she owned a dog grooming business in north beach,she used to park it out on the main road for advertising purposes.it was up for sale again around 6 months back(carsales),it basically sold overnight for 20k.so dont know if it is in pommy land or still cruizin' here in the west,or elsewhere in this country. would be nice to know where it ended up!! it was one of those sales when you see it leave your home,and you say to yourself:WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!! share the love i suppose. 
|
||||
| BJ |
Yeah that ones still here, owned by the same guy thats got the blue barndoor - Theres a few of us that reckon that, that 15 window is the nicest bus here, we certainly have a soft spot for it. | ||||
| Maharg |
A couple of splits you missed Ja
A DC that was scheduled to be restored by now... 
|
||||
| Maharg |
A very nice split which was due to be modifed when i was last in Perth.
|
||||
| Maharg |
I have been to all the English shows over the last 5 years and never seen one.
A split in Perth is running with them. Got to make you smile.... 
|
||||
| Gabbo's Run |
I think every split in aust,seems to be in perth. how goods that.
brian |
||||
| BJ |
Maharg you know that post of the white(chrome bumpers) ManjiSams bus - Well if you look through my pictures it is the freshly painted black and white one with no windows in it!!!!!
Nice one for the pics though.... Here's another that I have been told about: 
|
||||
| sneak_e |
Hey mate you'll be happy to know that double door panel in Bridgetown has had a start made on it. Was there for work a couple of days ago and called in for lunch at the cafe. Her husband has towed it out from under the lean-to and managed to get the motor running. The body work is next on the list so hopefully another year or two and that one will join the list 
|
||||
| BJ |
That' s good news, thought for sure that it would sit there and disapear into the ground. Perhaps we gave them inspiration!!! | ||||
| BJ |
42! so far - Lets get to that 50 mark - I have 9 that I need to get pictures of
52!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||
| BJ |
46 Pictured on this post now! - I have added a few more to the bottom of the original post.
The 50 mark is not too far way now
|
||||
| BJ |
I just realised that the 46 does not include Kingas Split(s) So we have 47 
|
||||
| humpty |
You can add another 9 splitties to your list apart from Burt (the 15 window deluxe at the start of your list) and the Outlaw (23 Window BD. http://microbus.vox.com/) from our collection.... Plus a couple of Keiran's other bus' (apart from his Samba) and Matt's early Panel....
You broke 50 there Jamie!!!
|
||||
| 66split |
got any pics simon??? | ||||
| BJ |
I have got pictures on my phone of a Spilt in Bunbury going through restoration - similar colour to yours Dave. I am guessing that it is about '60 model 11 window | ||||
| 66split |
heres another one my neighbour told me about. a guy called liam owns in but he wasnt in to have a chat with.
also seth and dion both have panels vans in wa. |
||||
| humpty |
I'll see if I can rustle up some pics..... And I just remembered.... We have a few more in the works... My bro has a very cool 57 panel that is waiting its turn, another mate has a ratty 11 window that is getting some TLC, yet another full resto and slam job is being done on an 11 window Micro and another resto-cal 66 (?) DC that has just been imported from the US....
I'll see if I can find some shots of our little lot, but the last three you are gonna have to wait on... The owners are waiting for the unveiling... |
||||
| humpty |
I had a look around....
One of the 23's.... 
An interesting shot of my bro's BD23 the first day of work.... 
On the way to the DOVW-WA a couple of years back... 
Evan's 11 window camper, now sold unfortunately.... 
And one I spotted in Freo last year.... No idea who owns it... 
|
||||
| Kinga |
I wouldn't say that
|
||||
| humpty |
Do tell....? |
||||
| Kinga |
Because I see this one quite a lot now. |
||||
| BJ |
Kinga were you the buyer?
|
||||
| BJ |
Nice one for your contribution Simon, keep scouring those archives of yours for more WA Splits - Aiming for 100 now! | ||||

| humpty |
Yet another 23 window in the build up.... The paint is all patch up now... 80% OG paint too!!!
Will be straight axled, narrowed and a stroker for good measure... 
|
||||
| BJ |
Here's another.....
|
||||
| humpty |
Nice one Jamie..... Looks a little like "Love-handles", but without the.... Love handles  .... And there is another UK import number getting about.... Polished rims and shine two tone cream over red paint.... Need to track down the owner....
|
||||
| BJ |
Hello Simon, the uk red over white (cream) is it a windowed panel. Look on the first page of this Topic is in there? - I think he has a roof rack now.
If it's not that one wel there's another. Simon have you got pictures on Keirans apprentices' (Green panel - Waynes old one). |
||||
| humpty |
Could well be the same one..... And no I haven't got any pics of matt's bus, but I can get some.... I'm doing a straight axle conversion for it at the moment.... I'll give him a call and see if he can send some over... |
||||
| BJ |
Cool nice one. Simon when do reckon that 23 'll be on the road? | ||||
| humpty |
Which one.... My Bro's BD or the one in the paint shop pic?... My Bro's is getting a new transaxle at the mo.... Couldn't get reverse to work right in the HiPo box.... The one in the paint shop is getting the mechanical stuff done now... Paint is done.... The interior is coming together and I'm working on the suspension now.... So its slowly coming together.... But it prolly wont be complete for a while.... |
||||
| BJ |
I meant the 23 red white, look forward to another top job then! | ||||
| BJ |
Well spotted Steve added it in here (another to the collection)
|
||||
| samba |
few more from over the years, many of these are now undergoing restos, though i am sure you poms have taken some of these , .. there where many we did`nt get pics of that have gone OS..
........i wonder if people looking at these pics realise most of the busses over here are now being imported back into the country and our state..being only 1 mil population out of 16mil across oz, meant we actually did`nt start with many, lets leave some for our kids to find.. cant get images to load, humpty you have many emails to upload thanks mate, k |

The last 23, had a small encounter with a cow, think that was before these pics?? but the owner tried to get it back from his mate, who had taken it to the tip.buried...he let me take pics from his album, still had the butterfly wings from the safaris..k | ||||
| BJ |
Shame about he 23! Nice one for posting these up - Top effort. Are these all in WA? If so who's stashing them - looks like some are progressing towards the road though.....
Nice one again, 'been chasing quite a few of those pictures for a while now. Jamie |
||||
| humpty |
Top effort Kman.... Good to see the archive is coming out.... Matt's bus looked so sweet back in the day!.... And you little collection is looking mighty crowded in the workshop too!
Keep it up big fella! |
||||
| VLKSWGN |
Great pics, I love the nostalgic ones and the DC next to your 23, Brilliant!
|

this single went for $3.5 recently, strange as it was advertised for $400, with full price agreed (sight unseen), and adress in hand, i headed of to pick up, only to get phones calls on way saying each caller was offereing more $`s on top..me having to match each new price ..by the time i got there..it had become a joke..turning into an open auction by seller..all before 8am on morning of add....bizarre times
some of these pics are repeats of same busses, welcome to delete as see fit..pssold this orange one to Mike from scarb last week..give him any advise if you bump into him..k 
|
||||
| VLKSWGN |
DC's in all styles, I will get my coat!
|
||||
| humpty |
Yeah a Kman owns all of them!.... Well.... I think he just sold the Syncro?!.... Did Matt buy it in the end Keiran?.... I forgot about Kurts DC.... Have you got any pics of his blue 58?.... And I have some very cool arty shots of the freeway bus too.... Should dig those out.... |
||||
| samba |
syncro remains in the family for now, i will cry if she goes,..but you cant drive them all..TYPE 2 is nice addition..2ltr box..new 1776..bernie beam, dropped balljoint spindles..but you all know it as the swimming pool bus
this blue camper belongs to a mate, and is under resto now..k 
|
||||
| 66split |
so how many have we got now? i've lost count!!
|
||||
| lobus |
Great thread guys, maybe we could do this on a state by state basis.
That is if there are any left that aren't in the west.
If he says "NO" go for a drive around the block and come back again with the money and tell him he said "YES" |
||||
| Brookie |
Working on it slowly- don't think anyone else will find it.
You will have to come over in October now and lead the "big parade" at Toodyay ---------------------------------------------------- |

| samba |
when i read BJ`s reply, "Damn, whos storing all these busses?" it occured to me that i have taken all those pics..meaning some subtle beer bribery could loosen tight lips..haha..now i`ll have beer tax to keep quite aswell..win win!!..
disclaimer 4 foto cred..bernies orange 58 pic he sent me before it landed here, as did my mates (who drove up to whyndam for me to grab the ice cream bus), sent me the tourist route pics...see attached link to this amusing cruise..the old girl was taken to all the landmarks...think they went for the beer, not the bus, although it is said there were a few quite bevvies sunk in her @ remote locations).haha http://www.dsk.com.au/forum/viewt...=4072&highlight=ice+cream+bus ps..just remembered waynes 58 also..he can up load..plus the ones we cant show..all those really secret fotos that no amount of beer would stop the pain from camel bites and crusties enjoy kieran |
||||
| humpty |
|

| VLKSWGN |
Damn, I thought Beer was the ultimate bribe, sounds like national tresure
|
||||
| 5PL1TDC510N |
I'll be adding to the list. Hey Kieran...a couple of the ones you posted I had in my possession! That white one with the sign on it I bought off a mate of mine Tony years ago, who owns the fruit and veg joint in Kewdale...and of course The Hulk that's Matt's.
*How do you get rid of the google ads below?! |
||||
| humpty |
Yet another one.... From Wayne (ne: 5PL1TDC510N) via Keiran (ne: Samba)....

More....
Kurt's daily... 
And this one belongs to a local realestate dude... 
|
||||
| BJ |
I am running a database of Splits here, and you guys have just stuffed me right up! I have lost track.......
HELP>>>> Keiran mate what's the chances of you getting a list together of the ones you posted i.e. brief description of the bus and it's location (State only (not address )).
This will really help me keep an accurate record....nice one |
||||
| VLKSWGN |
Hi Simon, Can you help me out and kick some excitement into Show us yer Bikes Topic? I know freo is up there with king of bikes 
|
||||
| Brookie |
All posts other than bus pics will be moved to a new section during the week. As BJ said this forum item was or photos of Perth splitties. |
||||
| humpty |
As far as I know, all the splitty pics are of WA bus' if thats any help.... But I think there a few duplicates (images of the same bus taken at different times) in there.... | ||||
| Brookie |
BJ is referring to non pic posts like discussing bikes etc
Warren ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
||||
| BJ |
Warren what I ment by stuffing me up is I wasn't sure about duplications and if the busses were actually in WA.
Keiran/Humpty, can you confirm wether these are here in the State please:

||||
| samblers |
That top one is awesome! Bling boys hate the old pop-top but it aint arf handy standing up when you're changing yer kecks
|
||||
| Kinga |
I think the one with the Rip Curl sticker could be the Albany one ???
I forgot about it, it was on Ebay last year but wasn't sold. If it isn't, then another WA split would be the Albany one. Somebody I have spoken to either spoke to the guy when it was on Ebay or knew the guy, but I can't remember who. 
|
||||
| humpty |
There is another.... Off-white over Red.... The one I saw at Kurts has chromed pop-outs, US spec bumpers and rolled on stock smoothies.... Owned by a young pom... Didn't get to chat to him unfortunately.... |
||||
| BJ |
Cool I'll add it the list.... Anyone got a pic? | ||||
| Kinga |
Another Perth splitty for the list....
|
||||
| BJ |
Has anyone worked out what that plate is on yet? Kinga dont post the picture of the bus yet.... | ||||
| humpty |
All I know is that its a 57 model.... Judging by the headliner its prolly a microbus.... But without the M Code plate, I can't figure out much.... | ||||
| Kinga |
I was wondering how long it would take before someone asked for an M code plate.
It actually isn't as much help as you think, well it hasn't been for me so far. Its hard to read in the photos because it has been painted (glued over I think) at one point so I will type it in. 13 9 008 020 156 196 AM 2442 381370 602 5667 |
||||
| Kinga |
It's actually a '67 too
and I will add that AM = exported to Melbourne |
||||
| humpty |
Here ya go Kinga.... Yeah.... 1967 would be the model year.... If it was a pre-65 bus there would have been a year marked on the VIN.... ie 13 9 ?? 13 9 13 9 = 13th September 008 020 156 196 008 = Unknown 020 = MPH Speedo 156 = Second rear view mirror 196 = Asymmetric headlamps for RHD AM 2442 381370 602 5667 AM: Country Code = Australia, Melbourne 2442: Model Number/Paint Finish 244 = RHD Deluxe Microbus with cargo doors left, full middle seat. 2 = Paint finish - Nitro-lacquer finish 381370: Lower Color/Upper Color/Upholstery 38 = Lower Color: L 512 velvet green 13 = Upper Color: L 87 pearl white 70 = Upholstery: Mesh platinum/platinum silver 602 5667: VIN Number 6 = The year of manufacture ie: 1966 025 667 = The VIN/chassis number |
||||
| Kinga |
I guess ya want to see the whole thing now...
 
|
||||
| humpty |
Cool... A 21.... Not to many of those about..... Find it locally or interstate?
Hope the M Plate info is of some help to you.... |
||||
| BJ |
Humpty nice work on the M plate bis' - And I can't believe it's one you know nothing about..... and o so local.....
Whats with the 21? I must say I have never clocked it before Are they pretty rare (I guess so) |
||||
| 66split |
is that another one to your collection kinga???
|
||||
| Kinga |
Local bloke, had it for about a year I think and was purchased from a guy in Melbourne. Hardly any rust, was lucky to survive a Subaru motor without too many scars (notice the cut in the front bumper for the radiator hoses) and has a 1600 TP now and is able to be driven. The owner is planning to restore her before he drives her and is planning a top notch resto. I am sure he will make him self known to the KK soon because he is looking forward to meeting a few like minded people rather than tyre kickers. I believe 21's may be less common than 23's (not that you see many of them either) |
||||
| humpty |
Huh!.... There seems to be a popular misconception that I have the low down on every bus in WA.... Utter tosh.... Keiran, Antony and Choppa have the collective knowledge in that regard.... Me.... I'm more a TI/III kinda guy as you know.... TII's are just a hobby!
|
||||
| sneak_e |
Rubbish Simon - you are the Wikipedia of all things Volkswagen in WA.... stop denying yourself...embrace your wisdom obe wan
|
||||
| humpty |
Like 15's, 21's are pretty rare.... I know of many 23's in the country, but I can count the number of 21's on one hand.... And just to let you know.... 15's are even rarer.... And can you believe my bro had 2 of them at one point!
|
||||
| BJ |
Heres another from down south
Looks like the reno is nearing the end |
